Do you not do Promite is not a bad 'mite'... Originally Posted by Nightblade

Looks like a job for a custom sugar mill, one that specializes in architectural elements. Last one I knew of was in Hawaii. Maybe there's one in eastern Colorado, working with beet sugar. It's really a boutique market, you know.

Now, this is global participation, I'll send you some CSR brand (of course) sugar 'cubes' and you can send me some good 'ole U S of A proper cubes. My son made a pretty good Space Invader figure the other day out of sugar cubes, I was so proud. The thing is, at 15 I was proud that he actually KNEW what Space Invaders were. I used to love that game, that and Galaxion. We used to play Space Invaders ALL day when it was too cold to surf... Originally Posted by donv

TOTM just now, early evening
New tea, and I'm strangely excited...
Silver Needle mixed with Osmanthus flowers, Safflower and Jasmine flower petals.
I'm not thus far enamoured. I actually prefer my own mix of 50/50 Partially fermented black tea and Fruit Melange...
Maybe it'll grow on me? I steeped for five minutes. I might buy either some Silver Needle by itself or some Pu Erh on Thursday..
(yet, it's a vintage French coffee bowl; not a tea vessel, I think I need a nice, old, Chinese tea vessel...)Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
